The CPU load depends on the length of time a server spends executing a script every time a visitor opens a page on a certain script-driven site. Static HTML websites use barely any CPU time, but it is not the situation with the much more advanced and functional scripts, that use a database and display dynamic content. The more clients open this sort of a site, the more load will be created on the server and if the database is large, the MySQL server shall be loaded also. An example of what could cause high load is an Internet store with a huge number of products. If it is popular, lots of people shall be exploring it simultaneously and if they search for items, the whole database that contains all the products shall also be constantly accessed by the script, resulting in high load. In this light, having CPU and MySQL load data will give you an idea of how the Internet site is doing, if it has to be optimized or if you simply just need a more effective web hosting solution - if the website is extremely popular and the current setup can't cope with the load.
